Watching the Sky feed through tvOS or iOS has been mostly good, but some frame rate weirdness on pan shots. I assume the Sky feed is always 50 FPS, my TV supports 50, wish they’d just pass it through rather than upconvert to 60.
This morning I saw QF7 SYD-DFW (A380) flying over Southern CA and staying over the US, rather than overflying Mexico as usual. Maybe related to Mexico civil unrest? @jonostrower.com @airlineflyer.net @xjonnyc.bsky.social
We were there on Feb. 1 when it was in the high 80s, they were selling a sweater that said ”Spring!” and had to laugh
@jonostrower.com IMO, for US viewers the aviation angle at the Winter Olympics is: how often will NBC mention the DCA midair crash when covering figure skaters? It’s a story that needs to be mentioned, but I hope they keep it tasteful and restrained.
Here’s the pins on mine (2024 Wind, US)
@ioniqguy.bsky.social Is your MagSafe charging pad compatible with the EV9? It’s been a while since I took the rubber pad off mine, but I think it looked the same as your pictures.
Santa’s spying our Cyber Monday deals. He knows you’ve been...good?
Either way, you have 24 hours to grab these deals.
No refunds if you change your mind. Santa can be ruthless that way.

Makes sense they would, I’m not sure why we didn’t do that rather than taking the whole Mac in for service.
Oh yeah that’s it!
Do caddy drives have a paper-clip manual eject mechanism?
It was a caddy load drive, so we had to take the machine in for service several times to have them eject the CD if The Animas crashed.
I assume the CD was mastered with corrupt boot blocks or something, maybe someday I’ll investigate it…
@downtowndougbrown.com Your Dinosaur Safari post brought back a childhood memory: our Quadra 660AV came with “The Animals!” on CD, but if it was in the drive at boot it would cause a Sad Mac.

Looking at you, Super Bowl
They’re pre-recorded, very produced videos now
This! And very glad the “other games” info is just a transparent little box in the top-left, not some giant colored full-width bar.
I think CBS’s production is better in every way than FOX. 1080i > 720p, better scorebug, Ian Eagle.
It’s in the (craptacular, doesn’t support PIP) MW app on phones. Apparently not on TVs though

lol that’s how the Kia Connect app in the US has always worked
Pretty cool, although it’d really be perfect with the mid-90s red/white/blue Boeing house livery.
Sadly no Douglas metal at the Long Beach stores, but one has a Spruce Goose.
Oh yes, how could I forget. Also, every livery needs a face on the tail. Chester, Pualani…John Wayne for AirCal? Washington or Lincoln for USAir?

Ooh I’ve got that one on cassette
Forgotten now, but OG CarPlay was introduced as “iOS in the Car” and was only renamed when it shipped several years later
Baffling that ESPN or the NFL don’t have a live activity on iOS for following the draft.
CrossOver 25 is now out! Lots of new games running on macOS thanks to Wine 10, D3DMetal 2.1, DXMT, lots of work on MoltenVK/vkd3d, etc. etc.

Their previous one wasn’t good either, but this needs to be 20% smaller
